things in Tallahassee" Who is greater

In what committee room resides the dar-
ing which mutilates bills, trifies with the
wishes of the people and sets up tri-
bunaI above and beyond the legally con-
stituted authorities? Who inserts for
eign matter into the texts of laws and
makes them useless or hurtful at his own
sweet pleasure? The Jacksonville char
ter is said to be Comedy of Errors;

The writer of this was present when
the bill passed each house and the jour
nails show it correctly as drawn up after
the suggestions of our citizens, as rec
commended by our Council and Endorsed
by some of the best lawyers and most
thoughtful men in the State. So far the
record is straight; where was the mis-
chief done?
Senator Walker was chairman of the
Committee on Enrolled Bills, and when
the charter reached him it was read by
Chandler, of Marion, and Fowler. of
Putnam, and and declared by them to
be all right" Here Fowler exhibited
great interest and urged haste ON the
Enrolling Clerk Now the crookedness
lies between Fowler, Chandler and the
clerk. We call upon each for a state
ment, and in the light of such further
information as may be obtained the guilt
must be proportioned. All are within
reach and answers may be readily given.
For this tampering with the laws is
no light matter. No Senator or clerk
dare set himself above the law save as
he hopes for silence and expects impu-
nifty. 1t is our duty to see that neither
must come out i'm all their naked ugli-
ness and if there be no other punishment.
public opinion shall pelt the criminal
with its harshest Judgment in pillory
of shame.
Senator Chandler has borne fair
name for years and is capable of recOg-

whole rottenness be brought to light.

Wine COlOrs and Color Wines.
Pacific Fruit Grower,


One of the chief difficulties with which
the wine makers of the Pacific Coast
have hitherto had U contend has been to
secure a sufficient amount of color to
suit the public taste. A bulletin recently
issued by the Agricultural Experiment
Station, of the University of California,
on ''Wme Colors and Color Wines" con-
tains valuable table of measurements
of a number of wines of the vintage of
1886. The object of the table is to EN-
phasize the fact that California can pro-
duce wines with abundance of color,
and that with proper attention to
this point in the selection and pro-
Forthcoming of the varieties consti-
tuting vineyard, the dealer need not
ever be exposed to the temptation of
using artificial cOlors, unless for the
purpose of stretching" by the addition
of water, etc. The most prominent col
or-wines shown in the table are, in the
order of their intensity, the Petit Bous-
chet, Mondeuse, Sirah, Verdot, Merlot,
and Cabernet Franc. Contrary to the
general impression, the two samples of
Lenoir do not show any extra merits in
this respect. A remarkable wine and
the most intensely colored wine of all
thus far observed is McIver's Petit Bous-
Chef, which has in effect the appearance
of red ink, and exceeds by 81. ) per cent
the deepest tint otherwise noted at the
same date. This wine cen be diluted
with six times its bulk of water and still
retain a deeper tint than the majority of
Zinfandel wines in the market: along
side of it, cherry juice dwindles into in
significance, and can only hold its own
on the score of its 10 and odd per cent.
of untaxed alcohol
Professor Hilgard in his bulletin
says that it is obvious that
with respect to color, as well as other
qualities, different localities will need to
be specially tested, in order to determine
the varieties that will yield satisfacto-
ry outcome. but whatever may be the
experience of a given locality, it is GER
tain that with wines such as these and a
number of others in the table, noted for
their abundant bearing. there can be no
excuse for the use of either cherry juice
or aniiine dyes, under pretense of cater
ing to the public demand for color.
With due care ON the part of vineyard
owners, and fair offers for color wines
ON the part of wine blenders, there need
be no lack of color in California wines.

try which would soon become mine of
wealth We already cater too much to
the luxury and taste of each other-we
are like cannibals in that we live IN our
neighbors and tread always a perpetual
round-let's produce something and
make ourselves independent.
We saw lately summer hat which
for lightness and comfort possessed a
high degree of excellence. 1t was made
of the fibrous mating of the palmetto,
pressed together into cloth-like rolls, wet
with sizing and then dried into shape ON
block. Think of the abundance of ma
terial lying ready to our bandits cheap
ness-the ease of its manufacture and
the value of the finished product.
A scientific gentleman from the North
last winter became interested i'm one OF
our comnionest productions-he ana
lyzed it and was amazed to find among
its elements a material he had long
sought. He became enthusiastic and
took quantity with him for further ex-
periments. He writes us that he is en-
tuc tehi &c
cheaply effected, and he is now ready to
apply for patent on his process and
the manufactured product When We say
that he has already made thousands on
various patents-that he was the original
manufacturer of the celluloid now on
the market, and that he has lately sold
his last patent for thirty thousand dol
lars, it will be seen that his opinion
should have weight, even though at pres
ent we must withhold his name. He
will return this winter and, we hope,
will make Palatka the center of the new
industry.
But it is to the development of our pc
culiar advantages that we should first
direct our attention and best efforts.
Wealth, as Well as beauty, lies all around
us. and it needs only the watchful eye
and appreciative brain to detect and APP
propriate the one as well as the other,
and surely the pursuit is a noble one
when the discovery would bring remu-
nerative employment and honest gain to
a whole people as well as to the new Co
lumbus who shall, in a new age, material
ize an idea into fact.

How to (,rOw Rich

Some remarks made by n member of
the Palatka Board of Trade Mt its last
meeting should have opened an inter
esting discussion. We agree with the
gentleman in the opinion that the es-
Enlistment of a factory in our midst
would benefit us all. But when he de-
scends to particulars and urges the
manufacture of brooms, we respectfully
rise to protest and deny that this enter
prise would he of the kind which gives
the greatest good for the amount invest
ed In older communities where labor
is cheap and plenty, the first duty of the
public is the proper employment of the
time which else would be source of
danger instead of wealth. In thinly
settled country our first duty as citizens
Is the discovery and utilization of the re-
sources at hand and their conversion
into the subsistence or luxury demand
ed by the necessities and habits of civ
ilized people.
Has Florida peculiar products? In
offering these to the world we need fear
no rivalry and can therefore expect re-
numerative prices. Does our climate
give us advantages We are recreant in
duty to ourselves If we fail to utilize
these to the enrichment of our State, the
comfort of our fellows and the gain of
the commercial world
If these things are so, then it follows
that while we have resources vet undevel.
oped we can expect comparatively little
profit from competition with others better
skilled or better situated, or more ex-
perienced in lines of business long es-
tablished. In the manufacture of
brooms we must compete with firms
controlling skilled operatives having an
established trade-situated in the midst
of lands which could far surpass our
own in the growth of the raw product.
But other products are peculiarly suit
ed to our lands and if we organize in
this new industry we shall have many
advantages over all possible rivals.
The poorest of our farms will produce
cassava in enormous quantities. This is
excessively rich in starch and the pro-
duct is far superior to that obtained
from the Irish potato. A starch factory
in Palatka would utilize the time that is
now wasted by our farmers during the
SUMMERTIME crop would be SO cheap
that the product could compete success
fully in price with its rivals, and many
OF the elements not utilized for the first
product might be made valuable by SIM

The question of the 1.-The Two Flags
is again becoming quite novel as it is
viewed from different standpoint,
and the report of General Drum is most
interesting as it shows that the North
ern States are continuously asking
that their flags be returned and have no
computations of conscience in receiving
them accordingly. But when it is pro-
posed to extend the courtesy for the
benefit of Southern States, then these
loyal governors protest and TASK for
injunctions'' to restrain the President.
When the next history descends upon us
from regions north of the Potomac we
shall expect q chapter especially devoted
to proofs that no flags were ever cap
tured by the Confederates And the
logic will read thus: The record shows
that all captured flags in possession of
either combatant at the close of the con-
test were lodged with the Secretary of
War-there are no Union flags in the at
tics of that department-ergo during a
long and bloody war the Confederates
were defeated in every battle and never
captured Federal flag. Could any
thing be palmer? Arc the loyal gov
errors in this EZRA of peace and good
will preparing to make history" in
this way?

a FUNERAL IN EGYPT.
The Novel Procession and the Shrill
Voiced Wcepers-The Interment.

The Novel Procession and the Shrii1
Voiced wcepers-The Interment.
A funeral in Egypt is, indeed, a strange
sight. and the first one the visitor sees AS
tonishes very much. At the head of the
procession march n corporate body of the
blind and certain number of men, who
proceed at a quick step. singing a most
iubilant air. while swinging themselves
from right to left. Behind them comes
the funeral ear, or rather a sort of bier,
bearing a great red shawl, in which the
body is deposited. At the extremity of
the bier, on perch, is placed the turt,an
or the tarbouche of the defunct. Two
men carry this bier. They follow with
such high spirits the movements of the
head of the cortege that the corpse,
rocked in every direction. seems to jump
under the shawl that shrouds it. The
women bring up the rear, some on asses,
some on foot.
The first row is formed of weepers or
rather screamers. who send forth toward
heaven at each step the shrillest notes.
The weepcrs hold in their hand a hand
kerchief, with which they are not solicit
Gus of wiping their eyes perfectly dry,
but which they pull by the two ends be-
hind their head with gesture that would
be desperate if it were not droll. On ar
rival at the cemetery they take the corpse
from the bier. to cast it. such as it Is. into
the grave. The grand funerals, however,
take place with much more solemnity.
An important parsonage is hardly dead in
Egypt before his friends and acquaintance
hurry to the house; during one or two
days they eat and drink at the expense of
the dead. or rather his heirs, indulging in
the noisiest demonstrations.
When the hour of the interment ar
rives a scene of the widest character is
produced. The slaves and women of
the house throw themselves on the corpse
and feign a determination to hinder it
from passing the threshold This lugu-
brious tragedy is played conscientiouly;
they snatch away the coffin; they Delay
each other with blows, and the most vio-
lent and frightful clamor is heard. AT
last the procession leaves the house and
retires to the cemetery, preceded by cam
els loaded with victuals, which are dis
tributed to the poor Eurrying in crowds
along the road All along the road the
mourners and friends of the family fight
for the honor of bearing the bier for an
instant. and thus il passes or rather
bounds from hand to hand amid the
most frightful disorder. The interment
ended. every one returns to the house of
the dead to recommence the festivities,
dancing and the mortuary denonstra-
